Astrid Swan - They Need You if They Think You Love Them (Official Music Video)
'Poverina' by Astrid Swan is one of the best albums of the 21st C.
WHAT!
TWENTY YEARS OLD!
2 gigs in Fin to celebrate. And the lost vid to one of my faves. I covered this on my 2nd LP ('Steve')

Terveys, sairaus, yhteiskunta ja kulttuuri: Ihmistieteellinen näkökulma lääketieteeseen
Missä kulkevat terveyden ja sairauden väliset rajat? Miten kulttuuri vaikuttaa kokemuksiin sairaudesta ja terveydestä? Entä miten tutkia lääketieteen historiaa?
Viimeviikkoiseen paneelikeskusteluumme tallenne on nyt katseltavissa YouTubessa! 👇

Digital Traces of the Grief of the Dying
I was invited to write a post for the blog of the research group Digital Death: Transforming History, Rituals and Afterlife. Here is the post. I write about grief and illness narratives in the contemporary multi-platformed online moment.

Since my attempt to disentangle from M began, I have found myself here, Mastodon, Signal (😜) and now Substack peeking in, not sure what to do and where… meanwhile spending far less time on any socials and taking less photos. I feel like I did when I stopped smoking 14 years ago. (Pic Brussels 2010)

Everyday and today is a good day for reading research on breast cancer and pink ribbon culture. I had my three-weekly Herceptin injection today. Feeling rubbish. Still curious though.

Yliopisto-opettajan aamiainen ja työpisteen koristelu. Luennoin monikanavaisesta omaelämäkerrallisesta ilmaisusta, toivon ja paranemisen vetovoimasta alustoituneessa kerronnassa. Sopivaa siis, että raportoin täällä 😆. Heti muistin miksi Leena-Maija Rossi sanoo ”opiskelijat ovat ihania”.

Jotenkin tämä Viimeinen kirjani sivu 272 ennakoi suoraan että seuraavana luvassa oli Noitarakastaja-romaanin kirjoittaminen.
Viime viikolla ja tänään olen kuullut että tätä kirjaani käytetään yliopisto-opetuksessa. Hieno juttu!

Art Monsters - Lauren Elkin
A must-read for someone like me. Perfect for my obsessions.
Weirdly, a great companion to my novel Noitarakastaja.
